| - This is easily my favorite Starbucks in Charlotte so far. It's the only location that has asked for my name like they're supposed to, especially when they're busy. (the first time I visited, they didn't, but it seems they were on it the second time around). The staff are friendly and they do a great job with the drinks.
It's also the most unique Starbucks I've ever been in. Located in an old house, it's not anything like the other Starbucks, other than the counter of course. There is so much seating here, too.
I would only complain about the floor outlets as they don't seem to work for charging your computer. But no other Starbucks I know of has floor outlets. I don't think Starbucks intended people use the floor outlets; I think they were just there previously before the Starbucks moved in. The wall outlets work great.
It's a busy location, just so you know. You can expect a little delay in your drink but that happens with the business.
They don't have a drive thru as there's no space for one here. That's not a big deal for me, however, because I take the bus anyway. Public transit is pretty good in Charlotte, though it does tend to run a bit later than scheduled. But buses run late at night as well as the light rail. I would recommend getting to this Starbucks via public transportation just because the parking looks like it could be a little crazy. It's not far from the East/West Blvd Lynx light rail station and it's just one bus ride away, just take route 25 there.
I still want to check out the Steele Creek Starbucks as I've heard good things about it but I think the East Blvd Starbucks will be my regular Starbucks from this point on.
